We have ONE MORE Leaguestarter for you guys, and a couple more videos coming out before the league launches. Stay tuned! [PATH OF BUILDING] pobb.in/OT8cZjxb50ub
Played this in the league it came out and it was an absolute blast. The damage outscales the squishiness until red maps so the early-midgame is super smooth and fun, it's probably even better now after a few patches.
Well, it got a bit nerfed after it's debut - and it did need it - but I think I'm not alone among LC lovers in feeling like it went a bit too hard. I've still been playing it, trying various builds (latest is even more of a boss deleter than this one but relies overly much on uniques), but I felt the difference. I didn't choose it for starting this league, but personally when I saw the changes in the 3.23 patch notes I was stoked, it looks like it's reclaimed at least some of it's former status. Next Affliction exile will definitely be an LC Elementalist, I look forward to doing my last build again and comparing.
I couldn’t decide so I went safe with guardian srs and once I got 2nd lab relics and haste it became ridiculous especially for no gear just life es and resists just a (b b r r) 4 link
Very casual player here - This was my first time following a build guide (back when the skill was first released, Ziz made a build around it), I was absolutely blown away! Thanks to this champ I managed to complete 125/127 achievements, killed all bosses the game has to offer, and so on. All within a league, not even playing much, with unoptimized equipment. If you're hesitating about following a build guide, I highly recommend this one.
LC is pretty good with storm brand of indecision imo it bounces around to all the mobs and shocks can proliferate. but I dont build this much right side of the tree
I hate you @Zizaran! I already had my League Starter and now you put out a build with my favorite theme! Now I'm undecided again 😂. Love your Content man, keep up the awesome work!
i know u said this isnt a build to invest too much in but im ssf and been enjoying it alot, but do u think its possible to make it strong enough for ubers? i really like lightning conduit
Great build having so much fun so far thank you! Only got one question tho, which ascendancy do you suggest on using on the new azmeri wanderers thing? i feel like none of them really works with the build but maybe primalist with the charms?
This league boneshatter, maybe LA be my build on next league. For now, pls make a video about how to min/max boneshatter jugg, ur the best bro, thx 4 all
I was considering starting LC again as it was my favourite skill (I've played pre nerfed LC) but as noone was even mentioning LC as starter I decided to try boneshatter why this guide wasn't posted earlier?
You lose the Elementalist's +15% to shock cap, so the damage for Heirophant will lag behind a bit. Templar / Heiro allows for more survivability though, so it's a decent trade.
Hello and thanks for the build. I saw in the POB that you force the shocking effect to 65%. This is probably due to the Lightning Mastery that increase Max Shock Effect by 15%. But in reality I don't see how you scale your shock at that point. My maximum I can reach is 52% and this is with one cluster jewel setup. Could you clarify on this ? Maybe I missed something ?
Any chance you could cover Arc Ignite elementalist? it seems pretty decent specially with one of the new arc gems that gives increased dmg and effect of ailments per remaining chain
it is good option, however you probably would need another skill for single target also few people that I know had checked trans arc and it was slightly worse than base arc starter viable definitely but close to off meta
I have a noob question (sorry).... how do i get 4 blue sockets in an midgame armor / evasion gear ? im using POB and i cant see the armor slots fit the colors of the gems ....3 blue sockets costs 120 chromatic orbs .... what do i miss ?
When you make intros, do you ever go "no, this is not silly/dumb enough" and try again? Because, so far, you have not missed a single time! (Much love, amigo!)
you need to put orb of storms down then use conduit inside the aoe of orb of storms. it only works on shocked enemies so it has to be with orb of storms
Just remember that the difference in the two is the T gem trades the shock requirement and built-in scaling for the ability to apply shock, lower radius, quality that increases radius rather than damage, higher base damage, and increased added damage effectiveness. Like Ziz says, normal LC has a ceiling, I would be very surprised if LCotH's ceiling isn't lower. The one thing I see about LCotH being viable for is as a triggered spell, since it also loses the base gem's "Cast Time is added to its Cooldown if Triggered", so that might be the way to go.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm dying on ever map and I mean white maps. This Build is extremely squishy and so far not fun at all. I'm res capt, 60% evasion, 60% phys reduction, 60% spell suppression with lucky, still dying to everything 😢
That's the Witch life for you :P how much life do you have? playstyle is the only other thing i could think of, unless you're rolling very hard maps. White maps are typically very doable even with 3k life and barely a defensive unless you run into packs head first
I know it's old but for any new beginner - Yes. Arcanist Brand is only to automate linked skills. There's no other use for it and it's one of my favourite skill gems to automate offensive auras.
I'm curious as to why you have this listed as higher boss damage than TR pathfinder (4 stars vs 3) when you talk about how lower boss damage is a drawback to this build, is it because TR has more delay to the damage?
This comes online faster as a leaguestarter when it comes to boss damage, that was the main criteria. Don't look too deep into the scoring system though, it's mostly very arbitrary. -skryah
I leaguestarted this last season and ended up capping out at around 10M damage. The skill itself feels great if you're ok with buttons and the campaign is a breeze especially for crowd control. But you really start to feel the ceiling of the build around late yellow maps and then it feels like your lightning is made of marshmallows. Bosses are pretty much a non-option at that point, even map bosses. I think the build is great as a leaguestart as long as you know upfront that you're going to be investing into a different build later on.
@@ridonkulusjuggler Okay, well I'm playing SSF HC and I'm consistently having like 1-2mill damage peak on leaguestarter and take it to red maps. I also played this build as a Trickster on HC when it first came out, and only had 2mill damage doing endgame bosses
@@KingJerbear Yeah fair enough and you probably played it better than I did. I did take it as far as T14 but it just didn't feel great compared to other builds I've played. Trickster sounds interesting for this, I might look into that
LC does extra damage based on the # of shock removed. Skitterbots is only a 15% shock. If you removed a 40-65% shock LC would do much, much more damage. @@bole5113
I'm curious why you don't want to use the alt qual gem that removes the need for shock. I understand the high end damage is less but without the need for shock, you can run something like Occultist and get profane bloom on it. That could do some huge clear speed. It can also move into power charge stacking assassin which may be comparable.
@@EkpyroticBounceHouse-DunderDan ya but calling them alt qual sounds better than calling them trans. seems like that title will cause too much annoyance.
Your energy levels are so much lower in this video. That's not a good or bad thing. Just an observation from this one video. Did you make this video before you had your coffee?
Having to play an exact tested build or die horribly makes exploring the game impossible for new players. Now the game becomes a chore where you have to copy some expert's game because the devs made the bosses too hard. Almost levl 48 and not evern scratching Malachai, burn through all my flasks in seconds. Ice Pulse and glacial at 6 do nothing.
I think he missed somethign very importang. With the new season, we can change conduit lightning into "lighting conduit of the Heavens", which does NOT need shock on the enemies. Making it a one button build.
Собрал себе этот билд. Полное Говно! потратил около 50 диванов. на первых же картах умирает. Амулет стоит 0.5 мирора. Как может быть это стартовым билдом? Думал от опытного игрока получу нормальный билд, но он похоже тоже идиот.
diablo can suck but ball lightning is way cooler and have more endgame impact than this trash, every build to destroy all content on poe always looks boring to play and i think they do it on purpose
you should fix your builds this is nowhere near league start beginner friendly when needing to spend over 3k chromes on coloring chest when hitting maps.. what an awful channel
Game knowledge issue. You have a 1/10 (10%) chance to hit an off-color socket when going from 1 socket to 2 socket, 2 to 3, 3-4, 5-6 etc (and only costs jewlers). It's referred to as the "jewler method". It takes a while, but you can also do things like white sockets via Vorici in Research via Syndicate. You get him to 3 stars, keep him at 3 stars (release him, do not move him what-so-ever) and do Catarina, then he has a chance of making anywhere from 1-6 socket in your armor white.
Bro, just ignore determination and remove all armor from gear, go evasion or evasion/es. Just convert the physical damage to elemental damage and go high evasion/spell block/spell supp and ofc ailment immunity with purity of elements. I would definitely run cloak of flames on this build and extra conversion on helmet, helm implicits and watcher's eye while affected by purity.
We have ONE MORE Leaguestarter for you guys, and a couple more videos coming out before the league launches. Stay tuned!

are you doing a dd leaguestarter for 3.23?
Something tells me the convo with Darth Microtransactions popped an idea with this one lol. Thanks for all the guides Ziz
Once again Ziz showing the hardest part about league start is picking your league start.
Played this in the league it came out and it was an absolute blast. The damage outscales the squishiness until red maps so the early-midgame is super smooth and fun, it's probably even better now after a few patches.

league starter builds keep coming, i already changed my league starter build 5 times already today..
Is hard to decide
you and me both man
I couldn’t decide so I went safe with guardian srs and once I got 2nd lab relics and haste it became ridiculous especially for no gear just life es and resists just a (b b r r) 4 link
same man same 😂
As someone who has been playing LC since Kalandra, you can not understand how happy I am to see another LC build on the channel :D
Thank you for your great starters every leaque, really appreciate it! :)
Gonna test it to see how it feels versus DD.
Thank you very much for the detailed guide!!

When I started to playing this build I got Tabula Rasa dropped in Tidal Island. This what's I call good ligue start. 😁
I appreciate the Darth Microtransaction Palpatine cosplay!

Ride the Lightning, brother!
- read in Hulk Hogan voice
i know u said this isnt a build to invest too much in but im ssf and been enjoying it alot, but do u think its possible to make it strong enough for ubers? i really like lightning conduit
That's a build for DM's chat :D They will feed him less BS so kind of you Ziz
Kinda nice playing on console and seeing what league starters are really good before league actually drops
What gear (armor, amulets, rings etc) should I grab when I'm still low level? Should I prioritize armor or evasion or resistances?
This looks like a nice starter!
Wonder if the new transfigured SB gem would still work alongside LC. Got a +20 quality one after getting lucky with past labs giving me good af fonts
Could you make a 3.24 version?
Great build having so much fun so far thank you! Only got one question tho, which ascendancy do you suggest on using on the new azmeri wanderers thing? i feel like none of them really works with the build but maybe primalist with the charms?

What is with that timer on the right side?
How do you get that?
Good morning friend, how do you link 2 skills together like lightning conduit and orb of storm to fire both at the same time?
hi dude , just one question im new on poe where do i find the passiv in the top rigth corner of the passiv three , ty for this nice video :p
I was considering starting LC again as it was my favourite skill (I've played pre nerfed LC)
but as noone was even mentioning LC as starter I decided to try boneshatter
why this guide wasn't posted earlier?
You can also play this with hiero and manastacking, abusing lightning mastery that makes max mana to add as shock effect.
Do you have a PoB or tree for that? And would it work as a league start? that sounds really fun
You lose the Elementalist's +15% to shock cap, so the damage for Heirophant will lag behind a bit. Templar / Heiro allows for more survivability though, so it's a decent trade.
Hello and thanks for the build.

it is good option, however you probably would need another skill for single target
also few people that I know had checked trans arc and it was slightly worse than base arc
starter viable definitely but close to off meta

I'm level 61 and I just hit act 7 , I'm 10+ levels over the content and I feel weak. It's a melee range caster
Just a shot in the dark here. Is there any blue gem I can replace cruelty with?
When you make intros, do you ever go "no, this is not silly/dumb enough" and try again? Because, so far, you have not missed a single time!
(Much love, amigo!)
I’m still upset GGG nerfed this skill after they made it
It was batshit broken the league they released it. Basically everyone was playling lc
on release it was a little broken but it for sure didnt need the good ol ggg triple tap
As a noob this skill remains awesome as far as I'm concerned; this is still the most powerful character I have
3:00 There's this one guy with 910M dps on poe ninja so i guess you meant to say 8 or 9 HUNDRED lmao
I have very hard time killing bosses during campain, how can i fix that?
Any changes to this build for 3.25 or should it continue to work as-is?
We don't have Divine Blessing anymore for your Wrath but aside from that, should still be viable. Oh, and no Primal Aegis as well.
Would this build be good for Ultimatum?
Would this build work for Heist ? :>
is there any build with 5 star defence?
How much divine to get this build running?
No way , why? Now price going space fooooook
getting tree error is that due to lack of the new ascendancies or something?
Very smooth league starter imo, tried it out. But yeah...dies to random 1 hits a lot, especially with the new juiced mechanic. Only downside
Anyone got a viable Lightning Strike build for league start?
I am confused on how the Conduit works. I use it and basically nothing happens as far as damage. Fun build though for a new player to this build!
you need to put orb of storms down then use conduit inside the aoe of orb of storms. it only works on shocked enemies so it has to be with orb of storms
What do you think about Lightning Conduit Of The Heavens? I really want to do a build with that skill because it sounds awesome. Also good video!
Was thinking that and herald of thunder
Just remember that the difference in the two is the T gem trades the shock requirement and built-in scaling for the ability to apply shock, lower radius, quality that increases radius rather than damage, higher base damage, and increased added damage effectiveness.

could this be kind of translated to trickster pretty easily?

Wish you didn’t have to play through the game story every time you make a new character. I assume there’s no way around this?
